Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Back in action Tuesday
Soler (groin) will start in right field and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
After missing two consecutive starts due to a groin issue that flared up Saturday, Soler will return to the Angels' starting nine Tuesday and aim to turn things around after going 2-for-17 to begin June.

Jahmai Jones 2B | DET
Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Batting leadoff Tuesday
Jones is serving as the designated hitter and batting first in Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Jones has recorded two pinch-hit appearances since having his contract selected from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and will now make his first start of the season for the Tigers. Parker Meadows, who has been batting leadoff recently, will slide down to the No. 9 spot, though that's likely due to the matchup against Baltimore lefty Cade Povich and trying to get more righties near the top of the lineup. Jones could be a sneaky DFS play Tuesday but will likely return to a bench role with less fantasy impact in the coming days.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Hoping for rehab games this month
Yoshida (shoulder) said Tuesday that he's hoping to be ready for a rehab assignment by late June or early July, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Yoshida received a cortisone injection in early May and indicated Tuesday that he was given another one more recently as he recovers from lingering soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder. He's currently throwing out to 105 feet and feeling better. Yoshida played in some spring training games at designated hitter, but the Red Sox want him to be able to handle the outfield before he's activated from the 60-day injured list.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Dealing with minor physical issue
Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Monday that Devers is dealing with a minor physical issue, Chris Henrique of the Boston Sports Journal reports.
Speculation that Devers might be injured arose when he didn't run out a grounder during Sunday's game against the Yankees. Cora didn't want to divulge exactly what Devers is dealing with, but he noted that it's "nothing major" and is something Devers will continue to play through. Devers has a .958 OPS with two home runs and a 7:8 K:BB over eight games so far in June.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
Stanton (elbows) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday.
Stanton had been working out at the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida, and after a pitstop in New York to get a final evaluation, he's been cleared for rehab games. The expectation is that he will be ready for activation within the next week or so, although the Yankees have not revealed an exact target date for Stanton's season debut. The designated hitter is coming back from tennis elbow in both arms.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Not in Monday's lineup
Soler (groin) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
Soler aggravated a groin injury over the weekend and will miss a second straight start. He had been set to undergo additional testing Monday, and the results of that exam haven't been divulged. The Angels will need to clear a roster spot once LaMonte Wade reports to the team, which could come as soon as Tuesday. It's possible Soler going on the 10-day injured list will be that roster move, but for now he is considered day-to-day.

Jorge Polanco 2B | SEA
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Rare multi-hit game Sunday
Polanco went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Angels.
It was Polanco's first multi-hit game since April 29, as he's been stuck in a deep slump at the plate for over a month now. Over his last 31 games, the veteran infielder is batting .163 (16-for-98) with one home run, three doubles and six RBI. Polanco remains limited as a designated hitter and left-handed batter due to a side injury from earlier this year, as he routinely starts on the bench versus southpaws and last appeared defensively back on May 6, and it's fair to wonder if the issue is hampering his performance at the dish in any way.

Ryan O'Hearn 1B | SD
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Out of Sunday's lineup
O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for O'Hearn, who batted .330 (30-for-91) with four doubles, two homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 11 runs during that stretch. The 31-year-old is seeing more playing time against lefties this year compared to previous seasons, but his solid .263 average versus southpaws is undercut a bit by a .316 slugging percentage. Still, O'Hearn has been incredibly productive overall in 2025 with nine homers and a .316/.397/.500 slash line through 54 games.

Yandy Diaz 1B | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Powers offense in win
Diaz went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
Diaz got the Rays on the board in the fifth inning, driving a two-out, opposite-field blast off Valente Bellozo to tie the game 2-2. It's the ninth homer of the year for Diaz, who's gone 10-for-27 (.370) over his last seven games. He's slashing .248/.297/.413 with 25 runs scored, 36 RBI and three steals across 263 plate appearances this season.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Set for additional testing
Soler, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, is going to get more tests Monday on his injured groin, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Soler first hurt his groin Wednesday against Boston but was back in the lineup Friday. However, the veteran slugger exited during the first inning Saturday due to a flare-up of the issue and remains on the bench for the series finale versus Seattle. Soler said Sunday that he doesn't know if he'll need to go on the IL, so Monday's tests should give a better idea of the severity of the issue.
